NEW DELHI: Network testing solutions provider Viavi released a report which said that the increased bandwidth usage is expected to drive the adoption of emerging technologies including software-defined networks (SDN), public and private clouds and 100 Gb.

Also, the report highlighted a rise in email and browser-based malware attacks (60%), and an increase in threat sophistication (52%).

One of the major findings of the study revealed that bandwidth usage in enterprises continues to surge, with two out of three respondents expecting bandwidth demand to grow by up to 50 percent in 2017.

“The necessity to detect and deal with security threats is notably complicated by the diverse mix of today’s enterprise traffic, which spans across virtual, public and hybrid cloud environments in addition to physical servers,” added McGillicuddy.

Also the report stated that Syslogs were being cited by nearly a third of respondents as the primary method for detecting security issues.
